Remember the Democratic convention in 1968? Then the election? I was 20, too young to vote, but I remember it well. The Republicans have been crushing us for years. Retribution for electing FDR 4 times, then Truman too. JFK was far to popular to be allowed to live, and RFK was on the same track.
I'm not big on conspiracy theories, but it's strange how far to the right America has gone since the days of FDR, when, as my mother said, all working people were Democrats. All it took was getting those pesky, unashamed, popular liberals out of the way.
